A Missionary's Experience In Persia

A Missionary's Experience In Persia.
A small audience at the First Presb5 terrain
Church last night listened to lecture on mis-
slonary Experiences in Persia" by Rev. James
Bassett, of Rising Sun, who spent severed years
in that country. The natives, he said, were
very eager for education, but until recent years
aad had but few advantages. Recently the
government had established college, for the
support Of which 100000 was appropriated an
nually. A peculiar feature of the school was
that all the students were required to serve the
government if needed. All the government
physicians were taken from the school
There was, he said, not railroad in
Persia, and the only telegraph lines were
those connecting the several provinces
of the country. The rigidi.y of the Moham me-
dan religion had made the duties of the mission
aries very arduous. Until 1873, Persian sub
jects not allowed to attend Christian
service. While the missionaries were being we'll
treated now, it was impossible to tell how long
they would be tolerated Ten years ago they
would not allow Christian church buildings to be
erected but now the government is giving its
permission to the erection of such structures.
Much of the success attained by the mission
aries had been brought about by the aid of the
representatives of the United States govern
ment. and they would probably not be dis
turbed as long as Christian ministers were sent
to represent the United States.

The Dishonest Partner.

One of the most frequent and deplor
able agents of sudden ruin is the dis.
honest partner. No business can b.
managed without mutual confidence be.
tween those who conduct it and though,
when We hear that a commercial man
has brought himself within reach of the
law, we are inclined to doubt if his
partner can have been unaware of his
malpractices, yet it must be obvious
that the dishonesty of one partner too
often arises from the unsuspicious SIM
plicity of the other. There are even
instances in which no amount of sagaci.
t. will save man from the enterprises
of roguish partner. The following is
q very common case: A and B being
partners, A dies. and his son succeeds
to his share of the business. So long
as A was alive the speculative tendencies
ofB were keptin check but young A has
not the same experience as his father he
has learned to respect B he looks to him
for guidance; and if B has made up his
mind to extend the business of the firm
by new methods. now that he is head
partner, the junior partner will gener-
ally be a mere tool in his hands. II
young A be more fond of pleasure than
business he will of course be even less
than tool-a mere cipher, and B will
be left to manage matters as he pleases,
until he succeeds in his schemes, and
proposes to buy A out of the business
or fails and brings A to poverty and
disgrace. 1t Is cruel thing that If B
has sbsconded, A will have to bear
the entire brunt of creditors wrath,
and perhaps be criminally punished for
his innocence. But partners have
learned this lesson so often that it is al
most q wonder how any sane man can
assume responsibilities without sscer-
tanning the nature and extent Of them.
1t is certainly not for the public inter-
est that the sudden ruin of an honest
partner should be pleaded in extenua-
ton for his ignorance or carelessness.-

Two Pictures Of o Savage ing.

About twelve years ago Sir Samuel Baker
drew . very uncomplimentary picture OF an
African king whose name has been mentioned
with high praise In many newspapers within
the past few weeks His name Is Ksbba-RegA
and he IL the ruler Of Unyoro, q large country
southeast of Albert Nyanza Kabba-Rega
was % years old when Baker described him As
an incorrigible rascal great dandy terri
BILE coward, and q shameless murderer.
Kabba-Rega had no right to his fathers
throne, as his mother was q humble shep-
berdess who was not even an Inmate OF the
royal harem. He, however, killed Kamrasps
rightful heir and mounted the throne himself
The fact that he kept his nnger-nails scrupu-
lously clean, ard would not smoke from fear

the highest happiness Kabba- Rega knew was

protesting the most friendly feelings for Sir
Samuel Baker and his other white visitors, at
tempted to give them their quietus at one fell
swoop, by treating them to plantain cider well
seasoned with poison.
The past twelve years have apparently made
q great improvement In kabba-Rega- The
drunken murderer whom Baker described now
figures as the friend aud ally of the beleaguer

hordes of the late Debdi on the one hand,
and BY the savages Of Uganda on the other,
are awaiting the relief that Europe ID about

praises Of Ksbba-R ega," writes Emin Bey. He
invited the white man and his companions to
take refuge in his town, and twice sent him
men and also . considerable supply Of cloth
for distribution among Egyptian soldiers.
Emin Bey wrote in January last that be IN
tended to take refuge with Kabba-Rega and
remain with him until relief came from Eu-

tended to Hospitality receive them, senta large
army against him, and, according to the last
accounts, he had defeated Kabba-Rega and
killed thousands OF his soldiers.
Kabba-Rega deserves the gratitude OF all
white men for the succor and friendship he
has extended, without reward or apparent
prospect Of any, to some Of our race In Central
Africa.-Nev York Sun.

New Story of Garfield.

A gentleman who knew Garfield well
tells q story which has never before
been published Of that remarkable man.
I'VE were sitting" said this gentleman,
"in the Office of the Secretary Of the Navy
Mr.. Thompson Of Indiana, waiting to be
heard on some matter of routine business,
when Garfield took his seat at q vseanf
desk near by and commenced writing
with both hands upon scratch pads or
either side of him. he seemed to write
with one hand 90 freely Is With the
other. Both hands, in fact, appeared to
move automatically. The only differ.
ence was that the lines on the tablet
written with the left hand, were rever-
sed from the usual order. The conse-
quence was that tho writing on the left
hand tablet could not be read except by
an expert, or by holding up to a hgh,
or before mirror. looked at the one
written with the left hand on its upper
side, and while the lines seemed re-
arkably uniform they conveyed nc
meaning, but holding the thin paper Up
at the light saw not only that the
words written were the same as those
on the tablet written with the right
hand. but that every popularity
in the formation of letter which
was found ON the tablet was
exactly reproduced on the left
hand. The achievement was marvel
to me, as / had never heard of it before,
although I have since heard that many
people do it. Garfield said that he
often wrote that way, whenever he
wished to preserve an exact copy OF
what he was writing without having q
copy made by letter press, and that in
this manner he saved great deal Of time
without any more appreciable fatigue.
1 asked him how he got into that habit
He said that while teaching school once
he had occasion to use his right hand Ia
point out something and that uncon.
sciously he kept on writing upon the
black board with his left. Upon turning
to the black board to look at what he
had written, he observed that the writ.
ing was reversed, but that he had full
use of his left hand for writing, and
from that time he made use of both
hands. He was, in fact, completely
ambi-dextrous."

Eunice'sTwius.

"No, can't say that I've had pros.

to another. "Last spring me and my
